OIL-BURNER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented May 9, 1911.

Application filed March 10, 1911. Serial No. 613,545.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1. Jesse G. I-Inxrox. a citizen of the United States,residing at Mona, in thecounty of Polk and State of Arkansas, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Oil Burners of which thefollowing is a specification, reference being had therein to theaccompanying drawing.

This invention relates to oil burners, and the principal object of thesame is to provide an oil burner that can be placed in the fire box of astove. said burner being formed of few parts which are threaded togetherso that they can be readily separated to minito facilitate cleaning ormaking repairs and substitution of parts.

A preferred and practical embodiment of the invention is shown in theaccompanying drawings, wherein Figure 1 is ,a perspective viewof theimproyed oil burner. Fig. 2 is a bottom plan view thereof. Fig. 3 is alongitudinal vertical sectional view taken on the line Fig. 2. Fig. 1 isa transverse verti 'al scctional iew taken on the line ll. Fig. 2. Fig.5 is a similar view of one of the burner pipes, taken on the line 55.Fig. 2. Fig. 6 is a fragmentary horizontal sectional view of the burner.

The improved oil burner comprises 'a flat hollow body 6 that iscentrally divided by the longitudinally extending partition (3 to form afuel chamber (5 and a generating chamber 6. Partition 6 1s provided withan opening 6 that places the two chambers in communication. A tubularprojection 7 extends outward from one corner of one end of the fuelchamber 6 and is internally threaded so that it can be readily placed inengagement with the externally threaded end of a fuel supply pipe 8. Thesupply pipe Sis adapted to be extended through the wall of a stove, andbeyond the stove, is equipped with a controlling valve 9, said valvebeing preferably of the needle type. At the corner adjacent the inlettube 7, generating chamber 6 has a tubular outlet 1O projecting from itslower surface into which a pipe 11 is threaded. Pipe 11 has an elbowconnection 12 with a burner pipe 13, said pipe 13 extending "parallelwith and in spaced relation to the bottom of the generating chamber 6.

let tube pr jecting The upper surface of burner pipe 13 is pro videdwith a plurality of regularly-spaced discharge openings 14, and the freeend of said pipe is sealed by a cap 15. said cap being threaded ontosaid 'free end.

The end of generating chamber 6 opposite the outlet tube 10 is providedwith a tubular extension 16 which projects from one corner thereof andis a continuation of the said generating chamber. Said extension 16terminates in a downturned end 17 into which a pipe 18 is threaded, saidpipe 18 being also threaded to an elbow coupling 19. A burner pipe 20 isthreaded to the coupling 19 and is retained thereby in spaced parallelrelation to the extension 16, and in alinement with burner pipe 13. Theburner pipe 90 is provided with openings 21 and an end cap 22 similar tothe burner pipe 13.

It will be clear from the foregoing that the fuel enters the fuelchamber 6" and passes through the opening 6 to the generating chamber 6.The generating chamber being directly above the burners. it will beclear that said generating chamber is quickly heated so that the fuel isdelivered to the said.

burner in the form of vapor.

The body (3, outlet 10, and extensions 7 and 16 are preferably integral,and the other parts of the invention are in threaded engagement, whichpermits the burner to be dismantled so that the parts thereof can bepacked compactly. and also facilitates cleaning or substitutionof'parts.

A prominent feature of the invention is that the body and its extension16 are so shaped that they can be economically nanufactured and that theburner requires butonc opening to be formed in the st ove, said op 3:1-ing being for the purpose of permitting th supply pipe 8 to enter thestove.

\Vhat I claim is:-

An oil burner comprising a flat hollow body provided with a partition toprovide fuel and generating chambers, said partition being providedwith. an opening for placing said chambers incommunication, said fuelchamber having a fuel inlet tube projecting outwardly from one corner ofone end thereof, said generating chamber having an out.-

from the lower rtion of the ad cent corner of said end, sa: 1 generatingchamber being also provided .vith a tubular extension at the oppositeend that is and a fuel supply pipe in engagement with 10 a continuationthereof, a burner carried by the fuel inlet tube.

said outlet tube and supported in spaced In testimony whereof I hereuntoaflix my parallel relation {)0 the bottom surfacde 8f the signature inpresence of two Witnesses.
